Types 303Se High Tensile Cold Drawn Stainless Steel - Rounds

Type 303 is "18-8" chromium-nickel stainless steel modified by the addition of selenium or sulphur, as well as phosphorus, to improve machinability and non- seizing properties. It is the most readily machinable of all the chromium-nickel arades and has good corrosion resistance It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and not hardenable by heat treatment. Tensile strength and hardness can be increased by cold working. It is manufactured by the electric-furnace process and meets the exacting requirements of the aircraft industry.
